Hi all, I did a post a few days ago because my snake has been 'opaque' for about 2 weeks. Some one said he will shed when he sheds but on snake ranches website it says, if the snake has been opaque for more than 10 days you may have to intervene. The problem is I don't know if he is brumating (he is only 7 months old and I think thats too young) or needs help shedding. What should I do?
Should I soak my snake?

I always spray my snake when I see their skin is dull and the eyes go, I did have a product to help with shedding but just ran out so I use water in a spray bottle and it works fine. No he is too young for that keep his heat lamp on, don't turn it off at all.

What type of snake? Misting with water once or twice a day can help when shedding. I only soak them if they are having a very bad shed.
I can pm u tomoz with with a couple methods if u r really concerned... But I'm sure u will c a shed soon....Stimsons, I have never sprayed him before because I think he comes from a very dry climate hence the higher temp needed compared to other species. His last 4 sheds were fine :/ But thanks for the replies

you can still mist him it wont do any harm. it does rain every now and them in the wild. only soak him if it has come off in one piece.
Thanks for that, just misted him.

If you ever camped in the desert then you would find that at dawn your tent/swag would be soaked with dew. Not as dry as you may think.

He shed last night, may I add this was his first shed which wasn't rolled in at the neck, and all in one piece! I shall start to mist him when he goes blue from now on, but yesterday I put his vine in which I took out just after is last shed. He moved into his new enclosure this morning so he should be a happy chap. Thanks for the tips everyone!
